Ranger24: Okay when I said this would be based almost entirely on the Manga that doesn't mean I'm excluding this crunchy nugget or anything else that's good.

Also I tried some tests writing in nonscript and realized I just don't like it. I guess everyone has there own preferred style.

Prologue: Awakening.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw nothing. Nothing but darkness. Darkness. It was all around him impenetrable. He couldn't see a thing. He tried to move his arms or legs but he couldn't move. Then there came a flash of light and he found himself of a large circular platform. It looked like a window in a church. It was decorated with the image of a girl. She didn't look much older than Naruto. She had red haired tied up in a bun with small spikes in the back. Around her image was a circle of strange creatures.

Naruto (thinking): Okay where the hell am I?

Then a voice floated out of the darkness. It was quiet but clear to him.

???: So much to do so little time. Take your time. Don't be afraid.

Naruto: Hey are you calling me a coward!

???: The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?

Naruto: Duh I'm not a friging three year old!

He took a step forwards. Instantly three balls of light appeared and took the shape of three stone blocks. On each was a different weapon. The first was sword with a green X surrounded by black on the hilt. The second was what looked like a staff with the same X as before. Then last of all a glowing blue green shield at the center of which was another X.

???: Power sleeps within you. If you give it form, it will give you strength. Choose well.

Naruto tood there for a moment thinking very hard. Then he made his way over to the sword and picked it up.

???: The power of a warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?

Naruto: Ummm… Okay.

The sword vanished.

???: Okay? My god you are dense.

Naruto: HEY!

???: Your path is set. Now what will you give up in exchange?

Naruto glanced from the staff to the shield scratched his head then…

Naruto: Eni, mini, miny, mo…

???: JUST PICK ONE OF THEM ALREADY!!!

Naruto shrugged and picked up the shield which then vanished.

???: You've chosen the power of a warrior and given up the power of a guardian. Is this the form you choose?

Naruto nodded and the three stone blocks and the staff vanished.

???: You've gained the power to fight.

The sword suddenly reappeared in Naruto's hand. Naruto swung it around a little.

???: Alright! You've got it! Use this power to defend yourself and others.

Naruto raised an eyebrow but suddenly on his left appeared three strange little black creatures, with luminous yellow eyes, and strange antenna's on their heads.

Naruto: Where did those guys come from?

???: There will be times you will need to fight. Keep your light burning strong.

Naruto lunged forward to attack the creatures and sliced ones head off! Instantly the other disappeared. Suddenly a darkness gather about the platform swallowing Naruto with it! When he woke up he was on another platform similair to the one before but with a different image. This one was of a woman in purple with red hair. On one end was a large door. Cautiously he made his way over to it and tried to open it.

???: Hold on. The door won't open just yet. First, tell me more about yourself.

Suddenly Naruto found himself in his home town of Khohana surrounding him were three people. One was a young girl with pink hair. Another was a boy with a feral face and a grey hoody. The last one was a boy with a very strange coat and sunglasses. His friends Sakura, Kiba, and Shino. They asked him a whole bunch of questions that don't really matter. Then the voice summed it all up.

???: Okay your afraid of being alone, you want to see rare sights, and you want to be number one. Your adventure begins at dawn. As long as the sun still shines your journey should be pleasant. Remember, the day you open the door is both very far off and very near.

Naruto: Are you talking about the door back there or some other door?

???: The door back there dumbass.

Naruto: HEY!

Suddenly he was on another platform. This one was adorned with the image of a girl in Japanese school girl clothes and with long black hair. A dozen of the same little black creatures surrounded him! They charged and Naruto started hacking away at them! His sword cut through them with ease! Very soon all of them had been destroyed.

Then he noticed a small circle on the ground curious he made his way over to it. The instant his foot touched it a stain glass stair way appear spiraling up into the air.

Naruto (Thinking): Well, only one way to go.

He made his way up the steps.

Twenty minutes later…

Naruto finally reached the top of the stairs and the next platform. He collapsed onto the ground gasping for breath.

Naruto: Need… more… time… on… stair… master.

???: Get up all ready.

Naruto groaned and walked onto the platform not even caring to look as the image.

???: The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.

Naruto glanced over his shoulder and saw to his horror that his shadow was rising out of the ground! Naruto ran for it!

???: But don't be afraid. And don't forget-.

He reached the end of the platform and teetered on the end nearly falling into the darkness! He whirled about to face the monster that was now a giant with a big heart shaped hole in its chest Naruto drew out his sword.

Naruto: Bring it on big guy!

Naruto charged at it as it swung a massive fist at him! The fist hit the ground making a large shockwave sending Naruto flying into the air! He hit the ground and charged again at the monster! It swung again but this time he jumped over the shock wave and sliced it in the hand!

Suddenly he was face to face with it!

???: But don't be afraid. You hold the mightiest weapon of all.

Dark clouds surrounded him and he struggled with them but he couldn't get free!

???: So don't forget.

All he saw was the dark shadows around him as the voice rang in his head.

???: You are the one who will open the door.
